of not letting go
of piling on more stuff
becoming a stumbling block
God wants a clear heart
clean eyes for his glory
wanting us to let go
of all that binds us up
that which holds us down
lifting us up with things
with disciplines we replace them with
to walk with us more closely
to sit with him in silence
to worship him completely
in spirit and in love
but not to go overboard
to add thing upon thing
to just focus on walking with our God
leaving the rest to him
